Training Methods

Study Period: two and a half years.

The structure will now be as follows. Students will spend their first semester (September - January) taking courses in Fudan. These will be the equivalent of 30 credits in the UCD system.

This summer work may involve an internship in Industry. Upon successful completion of this the students will have earned 90 credits and will be awarded a UCD MSC. degree .

At this point non-Chinese students may choose to exit the joint program or they may choose to continue to fulfill the requirements for the Fudan MSc. Chinese students (including students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and students with Chinese nationality who apply for the programme from outside China) should continue to pursue master degree in software engineering of Fudan University. For all students, both Chinese and non-Chinese, only after completing taking courses, professional practice and the thesis according to the training program of Fudan Software School for master degree, can they be awarded Fudan master degree . The two schools will negotiate with the students on a case by case basis to determine where they can do their internship and how to complete their graduation thesis.

Highlights

This joint programme will provide a systematic arrangement of specialized practice (industrial practice or academic practice) for each student. Each student is required to make a plan for practice arrangement in his/her first term in Fudan and complete the practice arrangement in the following periods at Fudan and UCD. An industrial practice arrangement includes an integrated internship in IT or Internet companies that have research and development centers in both Ireland and Shanghai. An academic practice arrangement includes one or more research or engineering projects that are co-advised by Fudan professors and UCD professors.
